Reply to comment by staticbrain in Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates says the rise of AI poses a threat to Google's search engine profit by Nsaxon

Y'all not using uBlock or AdGuard? Even Brave or Vivaldi block them on mobile. Google search is turning to shit but I haven't seen a real ad from them in years.

If you need to use a secondary provider to stop something, it is a trash service to start with.

Sure, and as I said, their search engine is going to shit. But I would say that like 90% of the internet is unbearable without an ad blocker. It's startling that a lot of people on r/technology aren't using them, based on this thread.
